The senior leadership asked with some puzzlement, "A loss of half the air pressure, what does that represent? Are you surprised? Isn’t the purpose of this experiment to test the efficiency of transmission?"
Zhao Yi took a deep breath before explaining, "Our experiment is indeed to verify transmission efficiency, but the primary data we’re concerned with is energy transmission, not air transmission."
"The results of energy transmission are available almost instantly, with a value exceeding ninety percent."
"Whereas air transmission is equivalent to material transmission. Before our experiment, we concluded that this kind of situation might occur, but we believed the probability of it happening was very low."
"Now, not only has it occurred, but the air was directly drawn away by more than fifty percent, which is very astonishing."
This time, the senior leadership understood.
Previously, he had been confused by the various data, only to realize that air loss itself was abnormal, let alone losing more than half at once. "So, does this mean that more than half of the air was directly transmitted to the spacecraft?"
"Correct!"
Zhao Yi nodded vigorously and then commanded, "Open the hatch, let’s see what changes have occurred inside."
The staff, after increasing the pressure in the enclosed space, directly opened the hatch to check the materials that had been placed inside.
When one of them picked up a plastic board, he suddenly exclaimed, "It’s shattered!"
He instinctively thought there had been a mistake at work, and immediately became somewhat panicked.
A colleague nearby immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
Zhao Yi walked over to the hatch and said, "Attention! Everyone, come out first!"
"Get tools, use sealed bags to pack and preserve all materials, even if they’ve turned to dust, don’t let any go to waste."
"This isn’t your fault; likely, everything inside is like this."
With that, all the staff members came out, took the appropriate items back in, and carefully packed each material.
It was then that they discovered, whether plastic or metal, the surfaces looked normal, but upon touch, they found everything had become brittle.
A pinch could turn it to powder, a touch could poke a hole.
"What’s happened here?"
"Why have they all turned out like this? That one was metal, and I put it in there myself!"
"What exactly happened inside?"
All the staff involved were extremely shocked, unable to fathom what could cause such an outcome.
If there had been an explosion, shouldn’t everything have been smashed to pieces?
All the items appeared as if they were stones that had weathered over time.
When all the items were cleared out, a simple measurement of mass revealed the issue—
There was a significant mass loss!
The report came out quickly.
"Academician Zhao, we have conducted tests; every type of material experienced a mass loss exceeding fifty percent, roughly the same as the air loss."
"At this point, the losses seem to be identical, although further detailed testing is needed."
"We carried out a detailed examination of the metal materials and found that the physical properties hadn’t changed; it seemed as if it had merely turned to powder."
This was the puzzling aspect for the staff. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Zhao Yi, however, was not surprised at all. As soon as he saw the condition of the first item, he had already understood the entire outcome.
So he said calmly, "Thanks for the hard work, everyone!" frёeωebɳovel.com
"Take all the materials back for testing."
"This experiment can be deemed a great success, and everyone has played an indispensable part!" His tone was somewhat excited, eager to study further and understand the scientific principles involved.
